Pacific Solstice – Hilo, Honolulu & Ensenada

About this cruise

Block out 16 nights from November 28, 2026 and let this sailing from Los Angeles do its thing. The route covers Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kailua-Kona and Ensenada and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. People come back from this cruise talking about Nawiliwili: Kauai's emerald cliffs meet the harbour. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Emerald Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
